Abstract
A mobile information communicating terminal device having a video camera includes a camera receiver unit pivotally supported in a vertical direction with respect to an upper edge face of the device. When the device is employed as a video camera, the camera receiver unit is rotated about a vertical axis to a position in which a video camera portion of the camera receiver unit is located at a back side of the device. When the device is employed as a mobile television telephone, the vertical relationship of the video camera is not changed. Therefore, a vertical inversion processing of an image signal is not required.
